"Yeah, I know, right? And how do you think I felt when he just dropped me off into the middle of things? Dia was sobbing on the floor like he'd been begging and I didn't know jack shit about why. I had to ask the damn Association mage he'd been talking with what had just happened. So much for getting them to back off any. She said she would still see about having the guys watching us back off, but I believe her not one bit."

Set runs his hand through his hair giving the clasp holding his ponytail a tug so that it comes loose. Then, he starts tossing it back and forth between his hands, "Apparently, the short story is that the mage my baby was talking to had him pretty upset by the time The Beast wandered downstairs." Set wrinkles his nose in distaste, "He made the call early to try and be done before I woke up to avoid this kind of thing. Of course, he had no way of knowing I was going to wake up as him. It's never happened before.

"So The Beast comes down being...him. Saying odd things, not necessarily making sense, but he kept repeating that something dark was stirring inside of my baby and that they didn't want to wake it because they couldn't handle it. I'm sure you can guess how well that went over with her."
